Slackware, Slax My husband hooked me up on Slackware almost three months ago (he used to run Slackware in the '90s). While I use a large range of OSes on a daily basis, when I am under Linux I now prefer to use Slackware. This is my mini-article with thoughts on Slackware 9.1 after using it for three months on and off. Ten screenshots are included.

./configure [--prefix if needed]
make
su
make install

Until Linux has some standard similar to Install Shield, that's the only way I want to install software, unless people want to package software in self-installing .run or .bin. Enemy Territory (game), Army Ops, and many other commercial programs use this method, and it's pretty easy.
